• Suggested needle size (held together): 3.5mm–5mm

🧵 Weaving Suitability:

💡 Helpful Notes:
• Not intended for use as a single strand

• Works beautifully in held-together colorwork or dimensional stitchwork

🫧 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight
📌 Please keep in mind: cone yarns may include protective wax used for industrial machine knitting. A few gentle washes may be needed to fully release the fiber and allow the yarn to bloom into its softest and most beautiful form.

📸 Please Note
The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
🎨 Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I highly recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the yarn’s texture and finish.
